Wow! Uncle!

I never meant to criticize TeX! Never used it myself (haven't needed to), but I have a healthy respect for it and those who have.

I guess I was just pointing out that the path of least resistance (e.g., Word) can be, er, a way to get the best bang for the buck (as it were).

In other words, if there is a learning curve to using TeX (e.g., it is new and unfamiliar), and Word is good enough to get the job done, maybe there's no real payoff in switching.
